To BE Attitudes: Blessed ARE the Peacemakers...


Matthew 5:9First of all, let's answer these questions:
Q: Is Jesus Christ blessed?
A: Yes He is. Psalm 118:26! Matthew 21:9.
Q: Is Jesus Christ the Son of God?
A: Yes He is! John 20:31.
Q: Is Jesus Christ a peacemaker?
A: He is not only a peacemaker, He is the Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6.
Q: If He is a peacemaker, why He didn't bring peace on earth when He came? Matthew 10:34. Luke 12:51.
A: He didn't come to bring peace on earth because the world didn't receive Him, He brought peace to the ones who received Him, the children of God. John 1:12John 14:27. We, God's children, are called to be peacemakers, to bring peace to the ones God is calling to Himself. Of course, as the world rejected Jesus Christ (refused to receive God's peace), so it will do to us, but as "ambassadors" of God's Kingdom, we are called to live peaceably with everyone as much as depends on us, Romans 12:18. God's peace is not bound to our circumstances, it's not limited to our understanding and it's not defined by our emotions, God's peace is a "decision", not a feeling! Philippians 4:5-7. We, believers, have to understand that our fight is against the devil and his demons, not against people. It is a spiritual battle, not a moral or physical one. Ephesians 6:12.
